ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION

WORK EXPERIENCE [yet to update - please refer my resume]

• McGill University - Research Assistant

  September 2016 - August 2018

  Stack used:
  Python, Angular4, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, RESTful APIs, RAML, Git, automated testing via Comtinuous Integration using Mocha, chai and Selenium.
  I developed the backend of the game Phylo. Essentially, I developed RESTful APIs for machine learning components like: difficulty prediction of puzzles, extraction of interesting puzzles from the multiple DNA/RNA sequences (MSA) using CNN models, routing of puzzles and dynamic change in difficulty of puzzles in the game. Extraction of segments of MSA means identifying regions that are not perfectly aligned via machine. Via Phylo, we managed to achieve this with an accuracy of 84.6% which is 9% more than the existing state-of-art. Stack used for this includes: Nodejs, Python, and MongoDB. The game is now deployed in Science and Technology Museum, Ottawa. This is a game with a purpose and is used to solve the sequence alignment problem of DNA/RNA. Complete end-to-end development of OpenPhylo is done by me.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

• Reverse Engineering of WSO2 IoTServer

  September 2016-December 2016 [McGill University]
  

  The study employs the classic reverse-engineering process to gain an architectural overview of the WSO2 IoTServer. We begin by analyzing the static components of the project and expand towards the dynamic behavior of the system. We identify the most salient architectural decisions of the system and critically analyze its components. It also serves the important purpose of producing a complete architectural review of such systems related to the IoT domain. Thus, imparting valuable & important knowledge with respect to (software) systems for IoT, to its greater audience.

• Aggregation in Phylo

  September 2016-December 2016 [McGill University]
  

  Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) – three or more related biological sequences -- are used to represent protein sequences whose goal is to reveal sequence similarity by aligning together nucleotides (or amino acids) derived from a common ancestor or having an analogous role. These MSAs are produced from the original protein sequence, therefore after alignment, aggregation is required to assemble them back in the original protein to generate the complete sequence. Aggregation of these protein sequences is an NP-complete problem which requires application of machine learning and study of alignment algorithms like MUSCLE, T-Coffee, PRANK, etc.

• Concern-Oriented Reuse (CORE) for Hibernate framework

  September 2016-December 2016 [McGill University]
  

  Prominent idea behind this is to create a Concern oriented reusable (CORE) file by weaving Reusable Aspect Models (RAM) for Hibernate framework. If you use this CORE file to create sequence diagrams for your problem statement in Hibernate, it will automatically generate the source code for you, provided that the sequence diagrams are drawn correctly and as per UML2.0 standards.

• Training and Placement Portal of IPEC

  August 2012 – March 2013 [IPEC]
  

  • Developed features of the Training and Placement module as per the design document, its interaction with other modules and its integration with other automations already deployed in college. My major contribution in the development of server-side coding for this portal using the J2EE (MVC3 architecture and Hibernate ORM framework). Stack used: JSP, Servlets, Net Beans as IDE and MySQL for database.

• Paper Publications

  Title: Debit/ATM card security- based on chaos function and QR code - IEEE - April 2014
  ISSN: 978-1-4799-3357-0
  Taking the existing state of affairs into consideration, in this paper the conventional security issues of the use of ATM and debit cards are discussed along with the feasibility of other alternatives. Then, the research paper proposed a model for secure use of the debit cards and ATM cards via Chaos function and QR code (DACQ model) that bolsters both speed and security without confounding the process or making it undesirable to users.

  Title: Chaos based Cryptosystem in June 2014
  Journal: IJEDR
  ISSN: 2321-9939
  In the proposed technique Arnold cat map and Hennon map have been employed during permutation substitution process to design a spatial domain based chaotic cryptosystem and only single iteration have been performed to make it faster. Thorough performance, security and comparative analysis ascertains efficacy of the proposed technique. This technique can be used for the security of digital content and can also be effective for watermarking without destroying the quality of the digital content.
